Goodyear Eagle RS-A review

What is it?

The Goodyear Eagle RS-A is a high performance all season tire designed for use on sports cars, and performance coupes and sedans. Served as the original equipment tire for a wide range of vehicles, including the Mitsubishi Eclipse, Pontiac G8, and Infiniti G37x.

Strengths and weaknesses?

Adequate dry traction and handling capabilities, but across all other evaluative metrics the Eagle RS-A is behind the curve.

Wet condition performance is notably below average, as are winter capabilities. Comfort characteristics are poor, and treadlife is limited.

How does it compare?

In the competitive high performance all season tire category, the Eagle RS-A ranks thirteenth out of sixteen tires per user feedback.

In 2005 Tire Rack comparison testing, the Eagle RS-A trailed the Continental ContiProContact by a wide margin in final overall scoring.
